From 1950 to 1965, an after-hours jazz club called Jimbo's Bop City became an emblem of the spirit and vitality of African-American society, local and world-wide. Located in San Francisco's legendary Fillmore District, Bop City hosted jazz legends Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis.

Each volume is a tour of a world renowned phonograph collection hosted by the owner and reflecting his particular area of interest. The hosts provide their personal views on collecting and the benefit of their knowledge and research.
